ZIDANE, BETTONI AND MSAIDIE AT GYM STORY: Zinedine Zidane returned to Real Madrid's training grounds on Tuesday (March 12), a day ahead of the club's first training session under his management, following his reappointment on Monday (March 11).

Zidane returns for a second spell as coach with plans to rebuild the Spanish giants who have fallen into crisis since he left in May after winning an unprecedented third straight Champions League.

Zidane also won a Liga title in 2017 among nine trophies before standing down having taken the club to the European summit, but they have endured a miserable season in his absence, first sacking Julen Lopetegui and then Santiago Solari.

Real president Florentino Perez has again turned to Zidane, who stepped in for Rafa Benitez in 2016 and quickly guided the team to Champions League glory, but this time he will be without the club's all-time top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo.
